Dear 64 community,

Someone please give me some good Kirby practice.

It's like the only match up in the game I'm still not very comfortable with.

Thank you,

Sheer

But yeah nobody plays Kirby in friendlies ever, kind of annoying

Never thought I'd see the day when people were complaining that Kirby isn't played often enough. Awesome.

I haven't been playing Kirby that much, so he's one of my weaker characters now (relatively). I'll try to give him some more attention.

Lost my first Japanese Style 12 Character Battle against Jousuke by like 7-8 stock. BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME.
It's pretty obvious your girlfriend is actually a Japanese spy and she told them all your training secrets.

Wow, never thought I'd see the day where Isai lost a 12 character battle. Hoping that Isai gets a few rematches and that they're all record. I didn't know that Josuke was good with non-Samus too - Kikoushi was kind of meh with his non-Kirbys that I played against.

I wonder if he made a SAMUS comeback like he does here.

Jeez, Samus vs Fox on Dreamland is a pretty damn painful matchup for both players and viewers isn't it.

Wait so this Tatuman guy beat Jousuke in a 12 char battle? Last time they played didn't Isai beat Tatuman pretty convincingly? I guess that was a lonnnnnnnnnng time ago.

Isai might've been caught in bad match ups.

And the Isai vs Johnny pika ditto with like 3 zero to death combos used to be one of my favorite ssb videos

I love playing pika dittos, you're always on edge and everything is super tense. It gets a bit stale to watch though when it turns into nothing but empty aerials because both players are scared to approach.

I just hope that isai did well against jousuke with his fox...

or was experimenting a lot
(J) Fox sucks against (J) samus, but he sucks even more against (J) kirby. He should be (J) Link the whole tournament as the counterpick to samus/kirby

why does J fox suck against samus and kirby?

Not bad matchups at all in (U). And samus really can't do much against good lasers besides camp platforms

Kikoushi gets second at those tourneys, close games, and Isai whoops kikoushi with three different characters, but jousuke can beat isai by 8 stocks in a 12CB? Version difference? Has he gotten much better? I don't get it

no JOHNS tho, if he wins he wins

J Fox isn't bad against J Samus, just not as good because Samus is a better character. Against Kirby though, the matchup is so much harder because Fox can't use dtilt at low percents as a combo starter (Fox's dtilt in J is like the Klobb), and edgeguarding against Kirby using dtilt is hilariously bad since it sends them up. Lastly, you can't substantially DI anything which doesn't help Fox. The only benefit is the invincibility frames on Firefox startup (you were right, Sangoku, it is noticeable).

On a personal note, against Karajan's Kirby, I go from losing a majority of my matches in J to winning a majority in U. It feels like an entirely different matchup.

So, this is probably common knowledge, but it's impossible to approach a campy kirby (as Fox) on the left side of Hyrule. It can't be done.

Hyrule is so good it'll solve its own problems: wait ~55s and there's a slight chance a tornado will spawn where the Kirby is. He might edgehog though, so be quick to catch him.

just dtilt him if he's close to the edge, and if he runs away go down there and fight him like a man. Fox has waaaaaaaaaaaay better options than falcon, don't be such a *****

It can be done.

It just has a stupid risk/reward ratio for little effort on Kirby's part.

People like King Junk complain about the tent but honestly I think the left side is way scarier. Unless you're Link, 2 gud.
